ABSTRACT

HITHERTO we have only accounted for the way in which ideas are logically formulated, that is to say, we have studied language only as an intellectual tool. But we do not speak merely to formulate ideas. We speak also with the object of reacting upon our fellow beings and of giving expression to our own feelings. That is to say if we base our distinctions upon the traditional threefold classification of intelligence, will and feeling, we must consider active and affective language apart from logical language.
